     Guidelines For Installing An
     ACDelco Engine
     • Read the engine installation instructions provided with
       each engine prior to removal of existing engine.
     • Surface conditioning discs contain destructive
       abrasives and should not be used to clean gasket
       sealing surfaces or any transferred parts.
     • Properly pre-lube engine (see Pre-Lube Guidelines).
     • Thoroughly clean transferred parts (see detailed Engine
       Replacement instructions for specific component
       concerns).
     • Contact 1300-888-406 for any questions.

     Pre-Lubrication Guidelines
     • If engine components do not receive proper
       lubrication, they will scuff and/or seize.

Before flushing the system, check with the service
manual for that specific make and model of vehicle to
determine if the system has any unique features, and
which procedure is recommended for flushing the
system.

Some models feature air bleed vents similar to those on
a brake system.

They are used for basically the same function: to bleed
air bubbles out of the system.

Because air pockets can cause the engine to overheat, it
is very important that all air is out of the cooling system
before the vehicle is driven.

                                                                                                                             19

     Other considerations
     Installing an engine properly requires a great amount of
     attention to details in order for the engine to function
     properly and continue to function properly.

     Below are some things to check before returning the
     vehicle to normal service:

     1. Is the Timing Set?
     • Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for
       procedures and specifications.

     2. Are bolts & fasteners torqued?
     • Are all the bolts and fasteners torqued to the
       manufacturer’s specifications and in the recommended
       sequence according to the service manual?

     3. Replacements check
     • Have the spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filters, air
       filters and hoses been replaced to ensure maximum
       performance and reliability?

     4. Breaking-in
     • Has the customer/driver been informed of the
       recommended ‘break-in’ period and procedures for this
       ACDelco engine (see After Installation Guidelines)?

     5. Test drive
     • Has the vehicle been test driven for a minimum of
       50km of combined city and highway driving, not
       exceeding 80kph or using any fast throttle responses?

     6. Maintenance Schedule
     • Has the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance
       schedule been relayed to the customer/driver
       emphasising that this is a remanufactured engine and
       will need to be serviced as a new engine?

     7. Maintenance Schedule
     • Has the customer/driver been informed to have the first
       filter and oil change between 500 and 800 km?

Procedures
It is critical that careful inspection occurs on all
“deposit” engine returns to confirm that the unit is the
correct model in exchange for the ACDelco
remanufactured unit – and that it is suitable for
remanufacture, otherwise penalties may be applied.

A recommended inspection procedure is detailed below
which should be followed:

1. Check Engine Number
• Check to ensure that it has not been altered, damaged
  or erased. Engines affected in this manner will not be
  acceptable for return.

2. Check Engine Model
• Check to ensure that the engine for return is the same
  as the ACDelco Engines remanufactured unit.

3. Check Damage
• Check the return engine for damage to rocker cover,
  sump, timing cover, and broken lugs on block.
• Also for cracks and other visible damage to block and
  cylinder head. Check that the crankshaft will rotate a full
  360 degrees.

4. Drain Oil
• The oil from sump must be drained.

5. Assemble to Stand
• The return engine must be assembled to the engine
  stand and must be equipped with the lifting chain.

                                                                      21
